Also, bear in mind that 3D buildings are only present in major towns and cities. It could just be that the area you're driving in doesn't have the buildings mapped out (yet?).
Regarding the clock, it relies on the route bar being present for it to display - which as you say only appears when a route's plotted. No way around that unfortunately, unless the developers change the behaviour in a future release.
The 3D building are ONLY available for Major Cities/Towns and Tourist Attractions
The 3D building Map for say 'Europe' is already near as dammit 9GB, to include every City/Town the Maps would be impossibly huge.
Thanks for your responses. I'm surprised that this new GPS has less options and/or user control than my old TomTom. I can't find the model but I've had it awhile and was needing an upgrade. I'll get used to it.
I agree with this gentleman, had a unit that was obsoleted by tom tom used to be able to have time displayed, show the number of satellites it was seeing )as well as gps coordinates) and was able to switch between 2d always north, 2 d in direction of travel and 3d by hitting direction... Figure this will be growing pains, but is also on models from other manufacturers.. maybe some thing to add for later hardware updates?
Tap on the four dot Icon (....) (Bottom left screen)
Tap Search Icon
Tap (Top right on screen) Tap Whole map
Note... On some units (I think) it says Installed Maps
Scroll down
Tap Latitude Longitude Icon....
By the way... When the device has a "GPS Satellite lock" The Latitude and Longitude shown on the Coordinates Menu screen as an example is... Live for your location
And was able to switch between 2d always north, 2 d in direction of travel and 3d by hitting direction
(Snip) Tap on the direction of Travel Icon, above the + and - Signs
To toggle between the North-up Overview Planning Map and the Driving Map view chosen in the Setting menus i.e... 2D in direction of travel or 3D
The direction of Travel Icon is thinner more pointed in the 2D in direction of travel or 3D Driving view
